These meditation apps could help ease your coronavirus anxiety.
Calm is another popular app. The company says it will help you sleep better, stress less and live better through its guided meditations, soothing music and sleep settings.
It's free, but the company charges for access to the bulk of its content. Calm Premium has a seven-day trial period and thenI like Calm because of its daily check-ins, which allow me to track my mood over time. The voices are soothing and the instructions are clear, so it is a simple experience once you find what you need.
The biggest draw to Calm is its bedtime stories, which knocked me out, and its celebrity partnerships. As far as I know, it's the only app you can choose to have Bob Ross or Matthew McConaughey lull you to sleep. Calm also has a on its website, with calming music, meditation and mindfulness resources to help get you through the pandemic.It's a bit hard to navigate through the meditations, so I spent more time than I wanted to finding a practice based on my emotion and what was needed at the time. I was also a little annoyed by how loud the default background noises play on the home screen.
I found Headspace easier to use for daily, basic meditations and courses than the other apps listed here. If you're looking for sleep stories and music, Calm is a great app.
